Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL, ICAO: KFLL, FAA LID: FLL) is a major public airport located in unincorporated Broward County, Florida, United States, roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 21 miles (34 km) north of Miami. The second busiest of the Miami metropolitan area's commercial airports, it is located off I-595, I-95, Highway 1, SR A1A, and SR 5, and is bounded by the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach.

With over 700 daily flights to 135 domestic and international destinations, the airport has become an intercontinental gateway since the late 1990s, although Miami International Airport still handles most long-haul flights in and out of South Florida. It serves as a primary airport for the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood areas, and a secondary airport for parts of Miami and areas north of West Palm Beach. The airport is a base for Allegiant Air and JetBlue. It is also the primary South Florida airport for Southwest Airlines. Spirit Airlines had its primary hub at FLL prior to May 2026, when the airline ceased operations.

The airport is classified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a "major hub" facility serving commercial air traffic.

History

1926–1959

World War I aviator Merle Fogg purchased an abandoned nine-hole golf course that was destroyed in the 1926 Miami hurricane for $1,200 (about $22,000 in 2025) in 1928. On May 1, 1929, the airport officially opened as Merle Fogg Field, with two criss-cross unpaved runways. At the start of World War II, it was commissioned by the United States Navy and renamed Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale. The runways were paved, and a control tower was built. The base was initially used for refitting civil airliners for military service before they were ferried across the Atlantic to Europe and West Africa. NAS Fort Lauderdale later became a main training base for Naval Aviators and enlisted naval air crewmen flying the Grumman TBF and TBM Avenger for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps aboard aircraft carriers and from expeditionary airfields ashore. NAS Fort Lauderdale was the home base for Flight 19, the five TBM Avengers that disappeared in December 1945, leading in part to the notoriety of the Bermuda Triangle.

NAS Fort Lauderdale closed on October 1, 1946 and was transferred to county control, becoming Broward County International Airport.

Commercial flights began on January 2, 1953 on Mackey Air Transport to Nassau. Domestic flights began in 1958–1959: Northeast Airlines and National Airlines DC-6Bs flew nonstop to New York–Idlewild, and Northeast flew nonstop to Washington–National. In 1959, the airport opened its first permanent terminal building and assumed its current name.

1960–1980

In 1966, the airport averaged 48 airline operations a day; in 1972, it averaged 173 a day.

The Feb 1966 Official Airline Guide shows three nonstop departures to New York–JFK and no other nonstop flights beyond Tampa and Orlando. Five years later, FLL had added nonstop flights to Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago–O'Hare, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York–LaGuardia, Newark, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. (Northeast's nonstop to Los Angeles had already been dropped.)

By 1974, the airport was served by Braniff International Airways, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, National Airlines, Northwest Orient Airlines, Shawnee Airlines and United Airlines. Delta and Eastern were the dominant carriers, with 12 and 14 routes from FLL respectively. By 1979, following deregulation, Air Florida, Bahamasair, Florida Airlines, Mackey International Airlines, Republic Airlines, Trans World Airlines and Western Airlines also served the airport.

1980–2000

Passenger facilities at the airport were expanded in the 1980s. Much of the current terminal complex (present-day Terminals 2, 3, and 4) were built by 1986 to replace the 1959 terminal. Additionally, both U.S. Route 1 and the Florida East Coast Railway at the airport's entrance were shifted further east to make room for the expansion.

Low-cost airline traffic grew in the 1990s, with Southwest opening its base in 1996; Spirit in 1999; and JetBlue in 2000. Spirit Airlines made FLL a hub in 2002. In 2003, JetBlue made FLL a focus city. US Airways also planned a hub at Fort Lauderdale in the mid-2000s as part of its reorganization strategy before its merger with America West Airlines. Eventually, low-cost competition forced several major legacy airlines to cut back service to FLL, with United pulling out of the airport entirely in 2008 and American Airlines moving its New York and Los Angeles services to West Palm Beach in 2013.

2000–2014

In January 2000, South African Airways (SAA) introduced service from Cape Town to Atlanta via Fort Lauderdale on a Boeing 747. The flight from Atlanta to Cape Town operated nonstop. Fort Lauderdale served both as a refueling stop and as a place to pick up passengers. SAA had just started code-sharing with Delta Air Lines, which offered several flights from the airport. Changes to security regulations following the September 11 attacks forced SAA to eliminate the stop.

During the 2005 hurricane season, FLL was affected by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma. Katrina struck land in late August as a Category 1 and made landfall on Keating Beach just two miles from the airport (near the border of Broward and Miami–Dade counties) with 80 mph (130 km/h) winds but caused only minor damage; however, the airport was closed for about a 48-hour period. However, when Hurricane Wilma made landfall in October roof damage was reported along with broken windows, damaged jetways, and destroyed canopies. The airport was closed for a period of five days. Hurricane Wilma was a Category 2 when its center passed to the west of FLL. In February 2007, the airport started fees to all users, including private aircraft. FLL is one of the few airports to administer fees to private pilots. A minimum charge of $10 is assessed on landing private aircraft.

In May 2008, Zoom Airlines launched a seasonal link to London's Gatwick Airport via Bermuda. The airline shut down three months later. In May 2010, Condor began a seasonal flight to Frankfurt. Norwegian Air Shuttle introduced routes to Copenhagen and Oslo in November 2013 and to Stockholm the following month. The company expanded its operations in Fort Lauderdale over the next few years. By 2017, Norwegian had established a crew base at the airport and added flights to three more cities in Europe, as well as seasonal service to two Caribbean destinations.

2015–present

An Emirates jet at the airport in 2018

Emirates launched a flight to Dubai using a Boeing 777-200LR in December 2016. While major airlines tended to prefer flying into Miami, Emirates chose Fort Lauderdale as its gateway to South Florida because of its codeshare agreement with JetBlue and the airport's central location in the region.

On January 6, 2017, a lone gunman opened fire inside Terminal 2 with a semi-automatic handgun, killing five people. The shooter was arrested by a BSO deputy within 85 seconds of when he began shooting. He was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences plus 120 years in prison.

In 2018, NORAD announced that it would be stationing fighter jets at the airport during President Donald Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago. That same year, the airport had started going through an extensive renovation and expansion project worth approximately $3 billion, adding gates, new parking, stores, and shops. The master plan calls for the construction of an Intermodal center, a people mover, a hotel, an increase in the number of gates from 62 to 95, and widening of the terminal access road.

Emirates ended service to Fort Lauderdale in 2020. In 2021, it began flying to Miami instead, which had more cargo traffic and connecting flights to other countries. In the same year, Norwegian decided to discontinue all of its flights to the United States, leaving the Fort Lauderdale airport without transatlantic service. Norse Atlantic Airways launched a direct flight to Oslo in June 2022.

In April 2023, historic flooding in the area caused severe disruptions at the airport, culminating in a complete closure as rainwater flooded parts of the tarmac and airport property. Norse Atlantic relocated to Miami in pursuit of more passengers and cargo in September 2023. The airline was also flying to London-Gatwick and had a crew base in Fort Lauderdale at the time. In the same month, El Al commenced a seasonal route to Tel Aviv for the Jewish High Holidays. It transitioned to year-round service in April 2024 despite the ongoing Gaza war and an Iranian attack on Israel two days prior. After Miami, Fort Lauderdale was El Al's second destination in South Florida, which has a large Jewish population. In October 2023, one month following El Al's commencement of service at the airport, officials broke ground on FLL's new Terminal 5, which is expected to be completed by mid-2026.

In 2024, Southwest shifted its international flights from Fort Lauderdale to its operating base in Orlando.

In May 2026, Spirit Airlines ceased operations after 34 years.

Future

Several airport projects are planned or underway as of 2026 and are expected to be completed by the end of the decade, in line with the airport's master plan. These include the construction of airside terminal connections between Terminals 1, 2, and 3, the intermodal center, Terminal 5, and an automated people mover connecting the terminals, garages, and the intermodal center. Additionally, the Palm Garage is to be reconstructed, with an on-site hotel & conference center built adjacent to the reconstructed garage, while Terminal 3 will be rebuilt & expanded and a station on the proposed Broward Commuter Rail section of the FEC Coastal Link is established.

An elevated light rail service known as PREMO Light Rail linking the airport, the Broward County Convention Center, and Port Everglades is also proposed. As of 2024, this first phase of the light rail system is anticipated to be completed by 2028.

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, located in an unincorporated area, covers 1,380 acres (558 ha) and has two runways:

The former crosswind runway, 13/31, was closed and decommissioned in 2013 as part of the Airport Expansion Program, which also extended runway 10R/28L to its current length.

Silver Airways previously had its headquarters in Suite 201 of the 1100 Lee Wagener Blvd building. When Chalk's International Airlines existed, its headquarters was on the grounds of the airport in an unincorporated area. Spirit Airlines used to have its headquarters in nearby Dania Beach, using FLL as their primary hub.

Terminals

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport operates four terminals with 67 total gates, with another terminal under construction as of 2024. Terminal 1 was built in phases between 2001 and 2003 and was expanded in 2017. The other three terminals were constructed in the mid 1980s and designed by Reynolds, Smith & Hills as part of a $263 million construction project.

As of 2025, Terminal 5 is under construction and is expected to be completed by 2030.

Terminal 1

Terminal 1, previously known as the Yellow Terminal, contains 24 gates on 3 concourses.

  • Concourse A contains 7 gates (Gates A1–A7)
  • Concourse B contains 8 gates (Gates B2–B9)
  • Concourse C contains 9 gates (Gates C1–C9)

Terminal 1 is served by Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, Avianca, Bahamasair, Breeze, Caribbean Airlines, Copa Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Western Air. United Airlines operates a United Club in Concourse C, which originally opened with the new Terminal in May 2001 as a Continental Airlines Presidents Club before United merged with Continental Airlines.

Terminal 1 was designed by Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum and Cartaya Associates. The first phase of Terminal 1 opened in April 2001 which included Concourse C. The second phase, which included Concourse B, opened in 2003. Terminal 1 received a $300 million renovation from late 2015 to June 2017 which included a single TSA security checkpoint and concession hall. Concourse A was also built during this renovation which also included a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility for international flights.

Terminal 2

Terminal 2, previously known as the Red Terminal, contains Concourse D and 9 gates (Gates D1–D9). Air Canada and Delta Air Lines operate at Terminal 2. Due to construction in Terminal 1, WestJet currently operates from Terminal 2 as well. Delta Air Lines operates a Sky Club here.

Terminal 2 opened in November 1986 and it was originally known as the North Terminal. By 1989, it was designated as Terminal 1 (with its concourse designated as B). The terminal was renamed Terminal 2 in 1999 when the 1980s terminals and concourses were renamed in preparation for the construction of the current Terminal 1. Terminal 2 was renovated in 2018, which included the expansion of the check-in area, renovations to security screening facilities, new ceilings, flooring, and the inclusion of more concessions, along with the modernization of the Sky Club.

Terminal 3

Terminal 3, previously known as the Purple Terminal, contains 20 gates on 2 concourses.

  • Concourse E contains 10 gates (Gates E1–E10)
  • Concourse F contains 10 gates (Gates F1–F10)

Terminal 3 functions as the operating base for JetBlue, which they use for their domestic flights. Terminal 3 is also used by American Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Azul Brazilian Airlines, Porter Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines. It is also connected to Terminal 4 via a newly built walkway.

Terminal 3 opened in March 1986 and it was originally known as the West Terminal. It was later known as Terminal 2 (with its concourses designated as C and D) until the terminals were renumbered in 1999.

Terminal 4

Terminal 4, previously known as the Green Terminal, contains Concourse G with 14 gates (Gates G1–G14). It is primarily used for international flights with JetBlue's international flights also operating from Terminal 4. Terminal 4 is also served by Air Transat, Flair Airlines, and Sunrise Airways.

Terminal 4 opened in August 1985 and it was initially known as the South Terminal. Service was inaugurated by a Concorde on opening day. The terminal originally contained a 10-gate concourse that was perpendicular to the terminal. It also included a ground-level wing on the east end known as the Commuter Terminal for airlines operating smaller propeller aircraft such as Air Sunshine and Cape Air. The terminal was later known as Terminal 3 (with its concourse designated as F). The terminal was renamed Terminal 4 and its concourse was named Concourse H when the terminals were renamed in 1999. Terminal 4 was renovated in the 2010s with the first phase of Concourse G opening in July 2015. Concourse G was complete by 2017 and the perpendicular Concourse H was then demolished. 11 of the 14 gates in Concourse G are international/domestic capable, and one arrival area for bussing operations. Terminal 4 used to be the primary hub of the defunct Spirit Airlines.

Future Terminal 5

On October 9, 2023, Broward County officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for the airport's new Terminal 5 (T5). The $404 million, 230,000-square-foot facility will feature five new domestic gates, check-in and baggage areas, security screening, and a variety of retail and food services. T5 will connect to T4 and the Cypress parking garage through pedestrian bridges. The terminal is set for completion by 2030.

Ground transportation

A view of the Terminal Drive loop leading into the airport

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is near the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport at Dania Beach train station served by Tri-Rail commuter trains – as well as the Fort Lauderdale station serving Brightline. Both Tri-Rail and Brightline provides a shuttle bus service from their respective stations to three locations at the airport, all on the lower level: the west end of terminal 1, between terminals 2 & 3, and between terminals 3 & 4. The shuttles operate seven days a week; the Tri-Rail shuttle is free for Tri-Rail customers.

The terminals are accessible by Highway 1. Other major roads that border the airport include SR 818, I-95, and I-595. U.S. Route 1 includes an underpass under Runway 10R/28L.

Ride-sharing companies can also be used to and from the airport in designated pickup and drop-off places found between Terminals 1 & 2 and Terminals 3 & 4.

The airport also offers airport parking and operates a consolidated rental car facility which can be accessed directly Terminal 1 and from the other terminals by a free shuttle bus service.

FLL is served by Broward County Transit bus Route 1 which offers connecting service through the Broward Central Terminal in downtown Fort Lauderdale, and also serves to Aventura Mall in Aventura, Florida, in Miami-Dade County.

Art

Internationally known artist and sculptor Duane Hanson created an installation for his work Vendor with Walkman at the Departure Level of Terminal 3 at the airport. Hanson, who retired and died in nearby Boca Raton, created a seated middle-aged man wearing a red T-shirt, blue pants, and baseball cap, and listening to a walkman during a break. The installation accessories give additional clues to the narrative of the artwork: toy airplane, various signs, and announcements for the shop, janitorial supplies. The artwork has since been moved to Terminal 1 Arrival Level.
